III Foreword I remember the first time I heard Richard Sheridan describe the state budget at a Federation for Community Planning Human Services Institute . I was a 30-something human service advocate who knew next to nothing about the state budget nor how it was assembled . I was awed by his presenta- tion and encyclopedic knowledge . I learned that if you cared about state policy, then you needed to understand the state budget, and there was no better teacher than Dick Sheridan . As the first director of the Ohio’s Legislative Budget Office (LBO) during the 1970s, Dick led a non- partisan staff advising leaders of both parties through years of unprecedented expansion in social service provision . Then in the early 1980s, Dick joined the faculty of the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University . Next he joined us, where for over a decade he shared his intellectual riches as an author of five books on state government and a statewide human services finance newsletter . In 1995, Dick was recruited back into state government as chief of the Division of Finance for State Auditor Jim Petro . Fast forward a few years and my predecessor John Begala recruited me to manage the public policy and advocacy work of The Center for Community Solutions . At the same time, he also recruited Dick to rejoin the Community Solutions staff as a regular writer and senior advisor . It meant that I was now Dick’s boss (to the extent anyone could be) . During this period, Dick authored comprehensive reports on state tax policy, a retrospective on the Taft administration and regular papers on all aspects of state finance and policy . Dick was the most prolific writer I’ve ever known . He could literally print out 3,000 pages of the state budget (typically breaking our copier in the process) on a Friday and return on Monday with a full- scale analysis . He was a brilliant story teller who often regaled me with tales of Statehouse intrigue . Dick spent a lot of time at his home in Lakewood, Ohio, which was packed full of treasures he had acquired from around the globe . Sadly, Dick passed way in 2009 . By demystifying the state budget process, Dick helped to level the legislative playing field for Ohio’s health and human service advocates . It’s in this spirit that Community Solutions decided to sup- port the publication of a fourth edition of Follow the Money . We could not have done this, though, without the continued assistance of one of Dick’s former colleagues, Terry Thomas, who lent his own extensive knowledge and experience to this endeavor . Terry has held senior leadership posts in both the executive and legislative branches of Ohio government and was the founding director for the V Ohio Association of Community Colleges . This book also includes chapters authored by my expert colleagues Tara Britton and Loren Anthes . Thanks to Terry, Tara and Loren’s efforts to preserve Follow the Money, Dick’s contributions to Ohio will not be forgotten, and a new generation of policy makers and advocates will have access to the history, information and data they need to help shape today’s better policy decisions for Ohio’s future . John R . Corlett President and Executive Director The Center for Community Solutions Foreword Preface The phrase “Follow the Money” was popularized in the 1976 motion picture All the President’s Men . The film suggested that a money trail existed within the Office of the President that was indicative of corruption at the highest level . The phrase has been used in a similar context recently, but also in a variety of circumstances over the intervening years when monetary influences have had a determi- native impact on political processes and fortunes . With this less sinister context in mind, the phrase became the title for this manuscript . Money and the budget process are extremely significant in Ohio state politics . The enactment of the biennial budget and public policy-making in Ohio are virtually indistinguishable . True, some important public policy actions occur outside the confines of the budget but less frequently than they happen inside . For this reason, we have added the phrase “Public Policy” to the title of the book in this edition . This Fourth Edition of Follow the Money explores state budgeting in Ohio from both a process and a historical perspective . This edition incorporates a greatly expanded budget history . In particular, it covers the administration of Governor John Kasich in considerable detail . The analysis dives deeply into the key public policy areas of Medicaid and other health and human services priorities as well as primary and secondary education, giving important context and life to the various elements of the budgetary process . The preparation of this edition of Follow the Money involved the efforts of many individuals aside from the editor . Particularly noteworthy are the contributions of staff from The Center for Community Solutions (CCS) . Loren Anthes authored the chapter on Medicaid funding and policy, and Tara Brit- ton did the same for the chapter on other health and human services priorities and provided overall direction to the project . Their detailed knowledge of these subject areas made it possible to expand the framework of the book beyond simply a description of budgetary process to a more substantive discussion of the public policy emanating from that process . A mentor of mine, William J . Shkurti, suggested this expanded purpose of Follow the Money, and I hope that we were able to accomplish his vision in this edition . Not to be overlooked are the steadfast support and contributions of other CCS staff members includ- ing President and Executive Director John Corlett, Dani Carlson, Rose Frech, Roslyn Bucy Kaleal, Sheila Lettsome, Brie Lusheck, Sam Sobul, William Tarter, Jr ., Kate Warren, and Adam White . In addi- tion, suggestions made by consultants Tom Zakrajsek of TOMZAK Design Inc . and Jennifer Chesak VII of Wandering in the Words Press greatly improved the look and readability of the final product, while WordCo Indexing Services, Inc . improved its usability . I am also appreciative of the valuable input of our external advisory group including John Begala, Maureen Corcoran, Tim Derickson, Gene Krebs, Justin Nigro, Brian Perera, Pari Sabety, Barbara Shaner, Carter Strang, Gayle Channing Tenenbaum, Marisa Weisel, and Chris Whistler . I also want to acknowledge the contributions of my spouse, Sheila Thomas, who carefully reviewed key portions of the text and made numerous recommendations to improve the product . She also assisted with many of the graphics . Her love and encouragement throughout the process was also very much appreciated, as was that of my adult children, Haley Lynn Thomas and Emily Detwiler, as well as Emily’s husband, Michael, and their son, Eli . Haley is also an author, and we bounced many ideas, joys, and frustrations off of each other . Finally, Dick Sheridan was my first supervisor in state government some four decades ago, and I continue to be inspired by his visionary leadership . His influence is reflected throughout this fourth edition of his seminal book . Terry M . Thomas Terry M . Thomas is an independent public policy consultant in the Columbus area . He has extensive experience in state government, including as senior budget analyst for the Ohio Legislative Service Commission and as president of the state Controlling Board while serv- ing as deputy director of the Ohio Office of Budget and Management . His public service also included tenures as assistant director and chief of staff at the Ohio Department of Develop- ment, assistant director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and associate vice chancellor at the Ohio Board of Regents . Terry was also the founding executive director of the Ohio Association of Community Colleges, and the association’s Friend of Community Colleges Award is named in his honor . He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Political Science from Penn State University with high honor and a Master of Arts Degree in the same field from The Ohio State University .

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to lielp you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated vwth a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large dieet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • President John F. Kennedy's Visits to Cleveland Depicted by Photograph
    For Immediate Release Contact: Alyssa Purvis November 18, 2013 Communications Assistant O: 216-721-5722 ext. 1407 [email protected] President John F. Kennedy’s Visits to Cleveland Depicted by Photograph Collection in WRHS Research Library Images donated by Ray T. Miller, head of Cuyahoga County Democratic Party for over 20 years, capture multiple Cleveland appearances by JFK in the years preceding his assassination CLEVELAND, OH – The odds of interacting with the President of the United States today are slim. Security is endless, making it difficult to even catch a glimpse of the country’s Commander-In-Chief. Take one look at the images in the Ray T. Miller collection at Western Reserve Historical Society, and it will become obvious that times were much different during a presidential campaign in the late 1950s. The images in the collection document John F. Kennedy’s multiple visits to the Cleveland area during the years preceding and during his presidency. In many of the photos, Mrs. Kennedy is seen accompanying the President as he is surrounded by hundreds of Cleveland residents. Crowds can be seen anxiously awaiting President Kennedy’s arrival at multiple locations across town; the airport, a podium in Public Square, or a steer roast at Euclid Beach Park. The images are available to be viewed by visitors in the Research Library at the WRHS History Center in University Circle. The photos from the Miller Collection prove to be even more interesting to visitors this year, the year marking the 50th anniversary of Kennedy’s assassination. Kennedy campaigned throughout Ohio and while doing so, he congregated with prominent Clevelanders such as Carl B.

  • Electing Black Mayors
    Electing Black Mayors Political Action in the Black Community William E. Nelson, Jr. and Philip J. Meranto $20.00 ELECTING BLACK MAYORS Political Action in the Black Community By William E. Nelson, Jr., and Philip J. Meranto As the black protest movement swept north in the middle years of the 1960s, a major shift was to take place in its basic theme and fundamental direction that transferred emphasis from the familiar exhortation to demand "freedom now" to an equally urgent summons to marshal the formidable, if un­ tapped, resources of "black power" in the struggle for liberation. This alteration in both informing idea and effective method signified conclusively that blacks, grown angry and frustrated over the slow rate of their social and economic prog­ ress as an oppressed minority, were finally prepared to realize their potential force in order to exercise a decisive measure of po­ litical control over their own lives. As a call to action, black power reflected a growing sense of community among blacks, a fresh awareness of shared experience and a common heritage. More importantly, however, it was both a challenge posed by blacks to themselves to gain some increased measure of control over the institutions of that community, and an appeal for black solidarity and concerted political action as the essential means to that end. An increased concentration of blacks in the major cities of the northern and western United States had come about as the direct result of one of the most significant demographic changes to occur in the nation in the twentieth century.

  • Fight for the Right: the Quest for Republican Identity in the Postwar Period
    FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT: THE QUEST FOR REPUBLICAN IDENTITY IN THE POSTWAR PERIOD By MICHAEL D. BOWEN A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2006 Copyright 2006 by Michael D. Bowen ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project is the culmination of many years of hard work and dedication, but it would not have been possible without assistance and support from a number of individuals along the way. First and foremost, I have to thank God and my parents for all that they have done for me since before I arrived at the University of Florida. Dr. Brian Ward, whose admiration for West Ham United is only surpassed by his love for the band Gov’t Mule, was everything I could have asked for in an advisor. Dr. Charles Montgomery pushed and prodded me to turn this project from a narrow study of the GOP to a work that advances our understanding of postwar America. Dr. Robert Zieger was a judicious editor whose suggestions greatly improved my writing at every step of the way. Drs. George Esenwein and Daniel Smith gave very helpful criticism in the later stages of the project and helped make the dissertation more accessible. I would also like to thank my fellow graduate students in the Department of History, especially the rest of “Brian Ward’s Claret and Blue Army,” for helping make the basement of Keene-Flint into a collegial place and improving my scholarship through debate and discussion.
